Ingredients

Sweet potato casserole:
2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, or yams
peeled and cut into 2-inch
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon honey
½ cup milk, low-fat
2 teaspoons orange zest
freshly grated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
Topping:
½ cup whole-wheat flour
cup brown sugar
packed
*
4 teaspoons orange juice, concentrated
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
melted
½ cup pecans
chopped

Directions

Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil.

Cover and cook over medium heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well and return to the pan. Mash with a potato masher. Measure out 3 cups. (Reserve any extra for another use.)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Coat an 8-inch-square (or similar 2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.

Whisk eggs, oil and honey in a medium bowl. Stir into mashed sweet potato and mix well. Stir in milk, orange zest, vanilla and salt.

Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish.

For the topping:

Combine together flour, brown sugar, orange juice concentrate, oil and butter in a small bowl.

Blend with a fork or your fingertips until crumbly. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over the casserole.

Bake the casserole until heated through and the top is lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool a few minutes and serve warm.
